Hurley Pediatric Emergency Department Would Greatly Benefit

“Mid-Michigan families know that when their child is seriously ill or injured, Hurley is the best place north of Detroit for pediatric specialty care," says Richard R. Warmbold, PhD, President, Hurley Foundation. "On a typical day, Hurley Pediatric Emergency Department treats 70 children.  With the assistance of the Art Van Million Dollar Charity Challenge award, these children will have the benefit of new, quality equipment to meet their immediate medical needs during their visit to the Hurley Medical Center Pediatric Emergency Department.”
